Handicrafts involve the presence of certain skills, including tying a sliding knot. Very often, this method of weaving threads is used in the manufacture of jewelry.
Instructions
Step 1
The first thing to do is prepare a cotton cord of medium thickness, about 90 centimeters long. Put on the necessary decoration element: a pendant, beads, and other decorative elements. One large bead of a cylindrical or flattened shape will look original and unusual, especially if it is made in ethnic style.
Step 2
Take the ends of the cord in your hand so that there is a margin of about 15 centimeters on each side, and direct them towards each other. Now bend the right end of it so that the ponytail is facing outward and located on the edge. Fix the resulting loop. Do not forget to make sure that its value is not more than 10 cm. Work with the right end of the cord, and the knot will subsequently ride on the left.
Step 3
Guide the left end of the cord from left to right, tracing around the loop and part of the cord several times, and then carefully lay the resulting "twigs" in the opposite direction from you. Make 2-3 of these turns, holding the knot with your fingers and controlling the tension on the cord. After that, pass the right and left ends through the loop formed so that they can be tightened into a knot. In this case, it is not necessary to tighten it too much, since the turns should move freely along the cord.
Step 4
Now that the first knot is made, proceed with the second. The algorithm of actions will not change in this case. The new node will be passive (not working). Next, you need to make a loop at the other end of the cord. To do this, wrap the free end around it several times, and then tighten the knot. The remaining end of the cord should be threaded into the resulting loop (the remaining excess can be safely cut off). At the end of all actions, it makes sense to glue the ends of the cord for reliability.
